This message is from: Steve McIlree <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A concern I had when reading the Rule Book was that it leaves the ridden and driven dressage rules up to the AHSA rule book. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the AHSA addresses only FEI level competition in dressage, leaving the definition of lower level tests to the USDF and ADS respectively.
Is this a rule book or a draft of a rule book? Why would the BOD issue a book that was only a set of "suggested guidlines"? Why can't they take a stand and say "THESE ARE THE RULES"? Then, right or wrong, everyone would know exactly what to expect in Fjord shows. There need to be hard and fast rules, and a formal method of changing those rules. Do we have that yet or are we still groping toward that end? -- Steve McIlree -- Pferd & Skipper -- Omaha, Nebraska, USA No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. --Winston Churchill
